Chirpiddy Chirpin Chirpers (Big Mouths)

Everyone must know one of these.

The guy who you need to beat but dread playing with.

Because he will not shut up. Maybe even when you are over the ball.

I have no problem with some of this but everyone must know someone who does cross the line.

No doubt it will differ from person to person (how to go about it) but...

Strategies?

Come up with nickname that sticks. Best if it sticks enough so multiple people get a laugh out of it and keep it going.

Play slower or faster. (annoyance and avoidance)

Get the last word. (even if it takes walking away and continuing where you left off when you come back)

(then leaving again real fast!)

Drugging.

Kidney shots.

Anything about mother, grandmother, childhood, appearance, body odour, etc. Schoolyard tactics work if you must use them.

...

Do women ever participate in these crazy antics?

Had a 'golf buddy' like that some time ago. So much so, that I learn to talk to him when he's teeing off, playing in the rough, attacking the pin, chip/pitch, putt until he swore never to play with me again :D

Odd thing was the rest of the weekly flight felt that there's no loss in it.

When he gets chirping, look at him for an uncomfortable amount of time in silence, then ask him if he's done. He'll say yes. Then tell him, "good, cause I'm not here to listen to you all day."

F'em. He needs to know he's a PITA and a distraction. He probably already knows and enjoys the edge it provides, so an uncomfortable moment is necessary.

I can think of two right away with 'Jim Nance Syndrome' - they give a play-by-play of their thought process before their shot (and yours), after their shot (and yours), and the explanation of why their shot didn't come off like they expected (and yours). Of course, it's all done in real time. The on course cementation is the worse, but it can usually be squashed with a comment like 'hey guys, I didn't realize we had Jim Nance in our group today.' Something along those lines to get the others in the group snickering is a good use of peer pressure. Occasionally, like CMartin said, you have to through something more direct out there like 'hey bud, I am golfing too quietly for you?'

Have a guy at our course who is nicknamed gator---all mouth and no ears. His other name is "mysun" because every other sentence starts out " My son shot 72 yesterday, my son hits it over 300 yds, my son.........." people do whatever they can to avoid being in his group

What Martin said. I make it known to people that I refuse to be "gamed." Total BS IMO.

You guys are right.

First round I played with him I teetered on trying to ignore it and trying to keep up with him until I spazzed and did tell him to shut the ---- up.

(on hole 15)

Accent on the F word if I remember right LOL.

It worked though...he mostly did shut it and didn't say another word while I was over the ball.

I will need to tell it like it is with this guy from time to time. I can only pretend to not be mad for so long. I do feel a need to feed him some BS a little too though. I'm getting good at it.

He is giving me the best practice I've ever had.

Honestly this guy very rarely gives it a rest. Especially when he has a crowd...

My problem is I don't like not getting along with anyone...but I can't be too submissive either.

So I feel a need to beat him at his game.

All I know is I need to have a few lines ready at all times. When he's around I always need to be "planning my next move."
